On typing that command here in terminal, I get:

Hmmm. 

Did you initially delete gpg before installing?  You could
run this command
(thanks to Robert J. Hansen) to locate gpg.

find -d $HOME /sw /usr /opt -name gpg 2>/dev/null

... for me, I get:

/usr/bin/gpg

You could then delete each instance of gpg that is found
using this command
(I've put the path to my gpg as an example:

sudo rm -f /usr/bin/gpg

When finished, run the GPG v1.4.7 installation again.

Gord only knows how all those instances of gpg ended up in
all those
locations on your machine. <shrug>

After deleting, run the installation again.  A fresh v1.4.7
gpg will be
installed in /usr/bin/..   Point ThunderBird'e Enigmail to
it and you
should be fine.  Works for me here.
